Where Would Caleb Williams Rank Among Top NFL Draft QB Prospects of Last 10 Years? | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Following a prolific career at Oregon, Marcus Mariota looked like the next great dual-threat prospect.

He ran a very QB-friendly offense yet rarely made a mistake with the Ducks, tossing only 14 interceptions in 1,167 attempts. He drew praise for using his mobility to scramble, yes, but also his ability to manipulate the pocket, extend plays and throw on the run.

He helped the Tennessee Titans reach the playoffs in 2017 but soon fizzled and lost his job to Ryan Tannehill in 2019. Although he started 13 games for the Atlanta Falcons in 2022, Mariota's performance didn't suggest his role should be more than a priority backup.
